Posting shotgun barrels

[Lucasnorth]

Hi, if I send some barrels off to Teague’s to be bored out can I send them in the post or do they have to go via a RFD? 
thanks.

Although the rules haven't changed, I understand the interpretation of them has.

I had to send my certificate to an RFD to get an additional set of barrels posted to me the other week.

Never had to do this before.

 The law regarding barrels can be confusing , following a change in the guidance there is now a requirement for an RFD to hold barrels only on the register so they must now be entered onto a certificate when sold.

Asked at teauges and they said RFD really. To me that sound like a suggestion. Asked FLO today. They said not sure Royal Mail will allow then to be sent. But as suggested there just a lump of metal on there own. Local FRD is 1 hour away and will cost 2-3 times as much to send via them. So post it is👍

As i understand it as they are a pressure bearing part so licensable  they are treated as a gun.

If you buy extra barrels, they go on your licence. I would rfd.

So 

you tell them in the post office it’s just a bit of metal tube 

and then when it’s lost you will want it replaced with??a shotgun barrel 🤔

just rfd them so much safer

Can’t you get a local gunsmith to do the work ?

Who will probably send them away!

I can obviously understand  the need for a licence and FRD when getting an extra set of barrels because not anyone can just buy them. This however is different. And I would of checked with the different companies who would send barrels. Not just of lied or said they were just metal tubes. And I said it’s a massive hassle going the RFD route. And being ripped off postage wise. And as tight choke said. Most places say they do the work. But don’t. So then there’s there extra cost on top. And who knows where there going. If I send them to teagues  I know there in good hands and getting done properly. 
 

anyway. It’s not a problem anymore as I ended up getting the gun I wanted already bored out😄

thanks.
